a Chaldean man smashed his father's idols, then wandered around his whole life fucking his wife's assistant, and when his wife finally had a child, he decides he should sacrifice it
so having a statue is bad but sacrificing your kid isn't
even having a family structure where your child would be forced to submit to being sacrificed is bizarre

1, Only your false version is ridiculous.
2, That is the strategy!
Make up something bad and then say religion is bad but religions did not say that. You added it!
Part 2
1, "Chaldean man" true abraham was from chaldea.
2, "smashed his father's idols,"
Where is that from? quran? Not bible!
3, "wandered around his whole life fucking his wife's assistant," Nope.
When his wife had no child, AFTER years of abraham loyalty, not "his whole life"... until then...
sara gave her slave to him for the purpose of a child... not for pleasure or a "sex slave" but for a child. Again, also not his whole life From then.
4, "when his wife finally had a child" true.
5, "he decides he should sacrifice" nope he saw a vision and believed god commanded it.
We would say he hallucinated but he believed that.
Not his decision.
6, Have a statue is bad? It is a sin against god.
Part 3 the only real question here.
1, Killing your son is good?
Now you asked a real question. The bible specified "god tested abraham" meaning god planned to interrupt and save the son. no killing.
2, The new testament adds commentary!
Abraham was commanded to kill his son and also heard "his son would be a nation" so Abraham interpreted both true! that god would REVIVE HIM FROM DEAD so not really killing!
Killing is bad but not when god gaurantees to revive him from dead.
so killing son is also bad, except in that specific situation. Problem solved.
If God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son, and Abraham does not know it’s a test, Abraham might believe his son molested or raped or tortured a child or was plotting to set a village on fire, and Abraham might have believed Abraham was choosing divine justice over family ties.
what? that's out of historical context. Jews were known to give "Molech sacrifices" to Jehovah. it's in the bible.
Molech is a symbol for cultural expectations and sociological bias. To sacrifice to molecular march’s you sacrifice humanitarian reason for cultural demands.
ok it had nothing to do with humanitarianism. it was just a backwards culture that devalued children
The bible says to train your child in the right way and Jesus said anybody who loves children, loves God.
ok. so the bible contradicts itself. because it also has a song in it that celebrates beating child's brains out.
The infants represent rebellion and to dash their head against their rocks is to afflict their sense of responsibility with standards, this is done to curb their impulses so they do not become corrupt adults.
infants "represent" rebellion? you're making shit up. especially since the bible COMMANDS Israelites to murder children in Deuteronomy. not only that there is biblical, historical and archeological evidence that they sacrificed their own children
To sacrifice your own children in the fire is to use your own ideas as ammunition to bolster your ego. God is criticizing the self referent encoding of their religious doctrines because it is meant to be outsider focus where religion is focused on helping others and not yourself.
I don't really care about the theology you've come up with. the reality is they were killing children who absolutely did nothing to deserve that treatment. and to say it was holy and justified? you're insane, or you're a piece of trash
Jesus said his kingdom is not of his world which is why his servants are not called to fight their kingdom of God battles using human weapons like knives or daggers. The spiritual weapons involve religious procedures.
Jesus didn't say that, a book about Jesus said he said that. there is evidence Jesus in fact thought his kingdom was "of this world". the idea a physical city will come down to earth from the sky is in the new testament
They said it is the new Jerusalem and Jerusalem is an expression of the collected religious sentiments of people. It is not the geographic limitations of the regional Jerusalem. Just like the daughters of Jerusalem are those that pursue religious prospects and not only the females born in Israel.
says who? I don't care what you think. I care about what the people who wrote the book thought. they believed heaven was on earth, and it was a physical place
the problem is that you think god wrote the bible, so all you need to do is ask God what he meant to know what the Bible means. the reality is the bible was written by men with their own ways of thinking that you must understand to understand what they wrote
Heaven is a positive calibration of religious sentiment for the religiously favoured and can be experienced both by people on earth and people who died and are in the afterlife life. The extent and format changes but the positivity and personalization does not change.
I'm done talking to you. you're pretending like you know what heaven is and then assuming the people who wrote the bible had the same ideas
I believe God guided human beings in the writing of the bible. Just like God created human beings but is neither a womb nor a seed.
They may not have had the same experiences but they were influenced by the same God.
key word: BELIEVE. because you have no evidence. you aren't a logical person, you're a believer
No more ridiculous than the bullshit about Jesus
u Jewish?
